Basquiat Estate Prints

Jean-Michel Basquiat’s work continues to challenge, inspire, and captivate — decades after it first electrified the downtown New York art scene. His paintings are held in major museum collections and among the most sought-after in the market, yet the immediacy and impact of his voice extend beyond the canvas. The Basquiat Estate Prints offer a distinct and meaningful way to engage with his legacy — through a series of carefully authorized limited editions produced by the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat.

 

Each edition is based on a major work from Basquiat’s brief but prolific career, rendered with extraordinary attention to detail and fidelity. These prints are not reproductions in the conventional sense. They’re meticulously overseen translations — preserving the textures, colors, and visual urgency of the original pieces, while making them accessible to a wider audience of collectors and admirers.

 

Highlights from the estate's print program include Hollywood AfricansFlexibleRinso, and Untitled (Head) — each offering a window into Basquiat’s distinct visual language: floating words, skeletal figures, cultural symbols, and that ever-present crown. Whether drawing from his own identity, popular media, or the histories left out of textbooks, Basquiat composed in fragments — but always with a clear, urgent voice.

 

These prints are produced in collaboration with leading fine art printers and published with the full authorization of the artist’s estate, ensuring each edition maintains the visual weight and integrity of the original. Every detail — from the density of his line to the rawness of his brushstroke — is translated with care and precision.

 

At Hakimi Fine Art, we’re proud to present this collection of Basquiat estate prints — not only as collectible works, but as lasting documents of one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. In each piece, the tension between control and chaos remains alive, a reminder of Basquiat’s genius and the complexity he captured in every mark.

For collectors seeking a direct connection to Basquiat’s practice, these editions offer something rare: access to the essence of an artist whose work continues to define and disrupt the conversation around contemporary art.
